There is NOTHING in the Constitution about "Separation of Church and State", but the commies use it continually. The word separation is not in the Constitution. The word church is not in the Constitution. The word state is not in the Constitution. This is what IS in the First Amendment to the Constitution, our Bill of Rights: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" The First Amendment wasn't written to keep religion out of the government! It was written to PROTECT religion FROM the government! No church should EVER get in bed with the government by becoming a 501.3 C corporation. That's like getting in bed with Satan himself. Also no church's funds should EVER be reported to any government, and church property is NOT taxable by ANY form of government, federal state or local. If the members want to deduct their charitable donations to the church, tell them to join the church of satan. |

I think churches, synagogues, and mosques should be given a choice: Either you feed and house the homeless (as best as you're reasonably able), or you will be taxed. Their choice. Some do already, I know. But I'm talking about a much broader framework where there's a system in place to feed and shelter them. Apollo astronauts couldn't have passed through Van Allen's Belt. Van Allen wore suspenders. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24917207 Yep. ^5 After diligently searching for a non-501-3C church, I've heard EVERY excuse imaginable from clergy of many different denominations, and I still haven't found one. If you think Jesus was a little peaved at the money-changers of old, I can only imagine His anger when He walks in the front doors of the Vatican, or Crystal Cathedral or ANY MODERN DAY TAX-EXEMPT, DEN OF THIEVES! |
